New Revision: 307319
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/307319

Log:
  The code currently resets the keepalive timer each time a packet is
  received on a TCP session that has entered the ESTABLISHED state. This
  results in a lot of calls to reset the keepalive timer.
  
  This patch changes the behavior so we set the keepalive timer for the
  keepalive idle time (TP_KEEPIDLE). When the keepalive timer fires, it will
  first check to see if the session has been idle for TP_KEEPIDLE ticks. If
  not, it will reschedule the keepalive timer for the time the session will
  have been idle for TP_KEEPIDLE ticks.
  
  For a session with regular communication, the keepalive timer should fire
  approximately once every TP_KEEPIDLE ticks. For sessions with irregular
  communication, the keepalive timer might fire more often. But, the
  disruption from a periodic keepalive timer should be less than the regular
  cost of resetting the keepalive timer on every packet.
  
  (FWIW, this change saved approximately 1.73% of the busy CPU cycles on a
  particular test system with a heavy TCP output load. Of course, the
  actual impact is very specific to the particular hardware and workload.)
